    Summary

    When Majima receives a personal invitation to join Kiryu on a Hawaii vacation to celebrate his full recovery, he isn't worried.

Things are going fine, until Kiryu starts offering to buy him drinks and people keep mistaking them for a couple. Majima was starting to think that giant squid hadn’t been so bad, after all.

    Set after the events of Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.

    Summary

    Maybe this is where he’s meant to be, he thinks, maybe it feels good to be used. They fit perfectly inside him, after all. The dizzy, tingly feeling stopped going away, eventually. It’s here to stay. His head feels like it’s spilling the contents of his past life, and filling with new, fuzzy, beautiful ones of his new friends.

    Kiryu descends.

    Summary

    I can't lose this, Kiryu thought desperately, not again.

    Miraculously, he was getting another chance, and he would never forgive himself if he didn’t take it, regardless of what came next. Despite everything, Majima still had feelings for him, and it made him feel hopeful for the first time in years. Maybe together they could make everything better. A sudden, profound realization struck him like a bolt of lightning—this was his last chance to turn back from the grim, lonely path he was walking on.

    ***

    Do all love stories have to end when the couple finally gets together?
    What if a happy ending was just the beginning?

    This is a story about the quirky adventures of two old ex-yakuza who still can’t get enough of each other.

    Summary

    A line of fire ran down his spine and into his guts, pain mingling with desire and irritation and nostalgia as the long blade of a familiar tanto bit into his skin. Blood trickled down his neck to stain the crisp white collar of his good work shirt, and he felt a sense of profound relief, as if someone had finally lanced some horrible, festering wound. “Get out of my cab, Majima,” Kiryu said.
    ---
    In the summer of 2012, a man wanders into Nagasugai, gives a group of punks a well-deserved beatdown, and unwittingly sends the entire city spiraling into an intense inter-familial conflict. Of course, this isn't Taichi Suzuki's problem, and if his boyfriend happens to be in town with a big knife and a penchant for making bad situations worse, well, that's none of his business, either.

    Summary

    “That leaves us with the romance part,” Nanba said. “What do we know about Kiryu-san’s love life?”

    “Yumi Sawamura,” Seonhee replied matter-of-factly. “Dead for nearly twenty years.”

    Silence fell around the table as they all considered this new angle. If they were talking about any other guy Seonhee would have suggested finding him a pretty girl who’d show him a good time. [...] But she knew it just wouldn’t work. It’s not that Kiryu-san didn’t appreciate beautiful women; he just wasn’t a man who’d fall head over heels for one so quickly. It was a quality she admired about him, and which, at the same time, annoyed her to no end. The man was immovable like a mountain.

    “There had to be someone else,” Saeko said. “You don’t really believe Kiryu-san didn’t even have a crush on anyone after Yumi died, do you?”

    #

    Kiryu's friends are not ready to give up on him just yet and come up with an idea.

    A long long time ago... I fell in love with four charming (evil) assassins.

    1 - Crawford and Schuldig (outlines)
    2 - Crawford and Schuldig (II)
    3 - Crawford and Schuldig - (III)

    I think there will be more pictures. I have a lot of fun drawing "classics" at the moment.
